Change Password for Weblogic users in OBIEE 11g


JDeveloper Steps

I used JDeveloper to build and deploy the webservice,

Open JDeveloper


Paste in the contents of ChngPwd.java to your new class file in JDeveloper.

o Changepwd.java

Note: You will need to update the variables for weblogic hostname, port, username, and password.

package ChngPwd; import java.io.IOException; import java.net.MalformedURLException; import javax.jws.WebMethod; import javax.jws.WebService; import javax.management.MBeanServerConnection; import javax.management.ObjectName; import javax.management.remote.JMXConnector; import javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorFactory; import javax.management.remote.JMXServiceURL; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Hashtable; import javax.naming.Context;

@WebService public class ChngPwd { private static JMXConnector jmxConnector = null; private static MBeanServerConnection mBeanServerConnection = null; private static String webLogicHostname = "172.16.12.166"; // Set to the weblogic host private static String webLogicPort = "9704"; // Set to the port of the admin server on the weblogic instance // private static String webLogicUsername = "weblogic"; // Set to the weblogic admin user //private static String webLogicPassword = "welcome123"; // Set to the password of the weblogic admin user private static final String validationFailed = "[Security:090237]"; private static final String mustBeEightChars = "[Security:090285]"; private static final String missingSpecialChars = "[Security:099116]"; public ChngPwd() {} // for JAXB @WebMethod(exclude = true) public String changeUserPassword( String userId, String oldPassword, String newPassword, String confirmPassword ) throws Exception { ObjectName securityMBeanName = new ObjectName("Security:Name=myrealmDefaultAuthenticator"); Object objUser[] = new Object[]{(userId), (oldPassword), (newPassword) }; String objStr[] = new String[]{("java.lang.String"), ("java.lang.String"), ("java.lang.String") }; try { if ( confirmPassword.equals(newPassword) ) { mBeanServerConnection.invoke(securityMBeanName, "changeUserPassword", objUser, objStr); return "Password successfully changed."; } else { return "New passwords do not match."; } } catch (Exception e) { if( e.getCause().getMessage().contains( validationFailed ) ) return "Validation of old password failed."; else if ( e.getCause().getMessage().contains( mustBeEightChars ) )


return "Password must be at least 8 characters long."; else if ( e.getCause().getMessage().contains( missingSpecialChars ) ) return "Password must contain at least 1 number or special character."; else return "Can not reset password at this time. Please contact an Administrator."; } } @WebMethod(exclude = true) public static void initConnection(String hostname, String portString,String webLogicUsername,String webLogicPassword) throws IOException, MalformedURLException { Integer portInteger = Integer.valueOf(portString); int port = portInteger.intValue(); String mserver = "/weblogic.management.mbeanservers.runtime"; JMXServiceURL serviceURL = new JMXServiceURL("service:jmx:iiop:///jndi/iiop://" + hostname + ":" + port + mserver); Hashtable h = new Hashtable(); String[] credentials = new String[] {webLogicUsername, webLogicPassword }; h.put("jmx.remote.credentials", credentials); jmxConnector = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(serviceURL, h); //jmxConnector = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(serviceURL); mBeanServerConnection = jmxConnector.getMBeanServerConnection(); } /*@WebMethod(exclude = true) public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { }*/ public String passwordchange( String userId, String oldPassword, String newPassword, String confirmPassword ) throws Exception { ChngPwd c = new ChngPwd(); initConnection(webLogicHostname, webLogicPort,userId,oldPassword); String result = c.changeUserPassword( userId, oldPassword, newPassword, confirmPassword ); jmxConnector.close(); return result; } }


Let’s now deploy the web service to the Weblogic server. Right Click on the project and clickDeploy –>

Webservices


OBIEE 11g Steps

The following steps take place from within OBIEE. They will create a simple Agent to invoke the webservice deployed above, and then create a hidden dashboard page to be a launch point for the agent.

Login to the OBIEE portal (http://localhost:9704/analytics)

http://localhost:9704/analytics


Create a new Dashboard,called DemoSettings.

Under Location, select Browser…

From the Shared Folders folder, select New Folder. Name it DemoAccount.

Select the radio button for Add content later (Create empty dashboard). Click Ok.


Click on the Catalog link, and navigate to the newly created folder, DemoAccount.

Select Permissions to set the appropriate permissions on the new folder, BI Administrator should

have Full Control. BI Consumer should have Open.

Make sure that Apply permissions to sub-folders and Apply permissions to items within folder are both selected.

Click Ok.


From the New menu in the OBIEE global navigation, select Action


Choose Invoke Web Service from the popup menu.


Plug in the WSDL and click Open.

The URL would look like: http://<weblogic host>:<obiee port>/<package name>-<project name>-context-root/<package name>Port?WSDL

On my local, it is: http://172.16.12.166:9704/ChngPwd-passwordchange-context-root/ChngPwdPort?WSDL

Drill down until you can select passwordChange, and select it. Click Ok


This opens up a new dialog box, enter the following values for the prompts (no quotes):

o passwordChange_arg0 = "Username:"

o passwordChange_arg1 = "Old Password:"

o passwordChange_arg2 = "New Password:"

o passwordChange_arg3 = "Confirm Password:"

For the Username argument, for Value select Session Variable, then type in USER and mark it

as fixed and hidden.

This will force the password change to only work for the current logged in user.


Click the Options button to personalize the messages (again, no quotes):

Set Dialog Title to "Change Password"

Set Action Help Text to "Please enter your existing password and new password below."

Set Execute Button Text to "Change Password"

Leave all other options blank.


Click on the Action Results tab and enter the parameters for the return messages (again, no quotes):

Set Dialog Text to "@{passwordChangeResponse}"

Create one XPath variable:

Name: passwordChangeResponse

XPath Expression: Body/passwordChangeResponse/return

Set Dialog Title to "Result"


Click Ok. Click Save Action.

Save the action as ChangePassword into the DemoAccount Shared Folder you created above.


Navigate to your newly created Dashboard, DemoSettings. Edit the dashboard by placing a new section.

In that section, add a text item. Place the following into the text item (making sure to check the Contains

HTML Markup box):


Click Ok. Edit the Column Properties. Click on Custom CSS Style Options (HTML Only) and add the

following to the Use Custom CSS Style:

position:absolute;height:120px; margin-top:40px;

Drag an Action Link below your text item in that same section. Name the link Change Password, and

navigate to the saved Action Link you saved to the Shared Folder. Don’t define any values, just click on

the Ok button.

Click Ok to close the Action Link Properties window.


On the main section properties, unselect Collapsible. Additionally, from the Section Properties, set the

border position to None.


Click the icon to save the dashboard. Click the icon to view the results.


OBIEE Server Steps

The following steps take place on the OBIEE server. All files references are

for a Linux/Solaris install, but file locations will be similar for Windows.

Update the following files, to place a link to the Change Password in the header bar:

/apps/applobi/OBIEE11g/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/web/app/res/b_mozilla/header.js

/apps/applobi/OBIEE11g/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/bi_server1/tmp/_WL_user/analytics_11.1.1/7dezjl/war/res/b_mozilla/header.js


For these two files, find the line:

b.push(new

obips.ContextMenu.MenuOption(saw.header.getLocalizedString("kmsgHeaderMyAccou

nt"),"",null,new obips.Callback(this,this.onMyAccount)));

and replace it with:

b.push(new

obips.ContextMenu.MenuOption(saw.header.getLocalizedString("kmsgHeaderMyAccou

nt"),"",null,new obips.Callback(this,this.onMyAccount)));b.push(new

obips.ContextMenu.MenuOption(saw.header.getLocalizedString("kmsgHeaderCustomU

RL"),"",null,new obips.Callback(this,this.onCustomURL)));

then find the line:

saw.header.NavBar.prototype.onMyAccount=function(){saw.header.Menubar.getMana

ger().hidePopupPanel();var a=new

saw.ondemandload.FuncProxy("obips.AccountInfo.launchDialog",{messageTemplate:

"kuiMyAccountDialogHead"});a.exec()};

and replace it with:

saw.header.NavBar.prototype.onMyAccount=function(){saw.header.Menubar.getMana

ger().hidePopupPanel();var a=new

saw.ondemandload.FuncProxy("obips.AccountInfo.launchDialog",

{messageTemplate:"kuiMyAccountDialogHead"});a.exec()};saw.header.NavBar.proto

type.onCustomURL=function(){var w = 1920, h = 1080; if (document.all) { w =

document.body.clientWidth;h = document.body.clientHeight;x =

window.screenTop;y = window.screenLeft;} else if (document.layers) { w =

window.innerWidth;h = window.innerHeight;x = window.screenX;y =

window.screenY;} var popW = 450, popH = 276;var leftPos = ((w-popW)/2)+y,

topPos = ((h-popH)/2)+x;window.open('saw.dll?PortalPages&PortalPath

%2Fshared%2FUser%20Account%2F_portal%2FUser%20Settings','passwordresetwindow'

,'toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no,location=no,


directories=no, status=no,

width='+popW+',height='+popH+',top='+topPos+',left='+leftPos);};

Note: Replace the bold part with the path to the location you saved the Action Link in OBIEE above.


Update the following file to add the resource id

/apps/applobi/OBIEE11g/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/web/msgdb/common/saw.header.xml

For this file, add the following line:

<resource id="kmsgHeaderCustomURL" />


Save it and exit

The next file will not exist out of the box, and needs to be created, along with any folders along the way.

/apps/applobi/OBIEE11g/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/msgdb/l_en/customMessages/uicmsgs/saw.header.xml

For this file, you will be creating it, so make the contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>


<webmessagetables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">

<webmessagetable lang="en-us" system="saw.header" table="Messages">

<webmessage name="kmsgHeaderCustomURL"><text>Change

Password</text></webmessage>

</webmessagetable>

</webmessagetables>


Save it and exit

Restart the OBIEE services. You should now see a link under the User menu called Change Password.

This will open a new window providing the user with simple instructions to change their password.
